Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
YPSILANTI, or HYPSILANTI , the name of a family of Phanariot Greeks claiming descent from the Comneni. ALEXANDER YPSILANTI (17251805) was dragoman of the Porte, and from 1774 to 1782 hospodar of Wallachia, during which period he drew up a code for the principality. He was again appointed . hospodar just before the outbreak of the war with Austria and
Russia
  in 1790. He allowed himself to be taken prisoner by the Austrians, and was interned at Briinn till 1792. Returning to
Constantinople
 , he fell under the suspicion of the
sultan
  and was executed in 1805. His son
CONSTANTINE
  (d. 1816), who had joined in a conspiracy to liberate
Greece
  and, on its discovery, fled to Vienna, had been pardoned by the
sultan
  and in 1799 appointed by him hospodar of Moldavia. Deposed in 1805, he escaped to St
Petersburg
 , and in 18o6, at the head of some 20,000 Russians, returned to
Bucharest
 , where he set to
work
  on a fresh attempt to liberate
Greece
 . His plans were ruined by the peace of Tilsit; he retired to
Russia
 , and died at Kiev. He left five sons, of whom two played a conspicuous
part
  in the Greek war of independence.
